Custom Home Project Manager

Delex Construction is a division of Blue Industries ( ) — a family of New Jersey contracting companies spanning glass, drywall, and construction, with our own crews, our own trucks, and decades of trade relationships across the state.

Please ensure you read the below overview and requirements for this employment opportunity completely.
We’re hiring a full-time Project Manager to run a ground-up custom home in Westfield, NJ through certificate of occupancy, targeted for 2027. High-end finishes, full Lutron lighting and AV package, a top architect and engineer already on board. You’ll report directly to the owner/builder and be the single point of contact for the design team, every sub, and the township.
This is a step-up role. If you’ve been the APM or super who actually ran the job while someone else signed the paperwork, this is your chance to own one start to finish — with an owner who has built his career in the trades sitting one phone call away. We’d rather hire someone hungry than someone coasting.
And it’s not a one-and-done. After Westfield: two builder spec homes, then two industrial ground-up buildings starting in 2028. Prove yourself on this one and you grow with the company as the work gets bigger.
